A Practical Guide to the Law of Gender Pay Gap Reporting

In 2018, businesses must publish the first set of information about the gender pay gap in their workforces. With the gender pay gap rarely out of the news, and with the risk of equal pay claims moving up the agenda of every audit committee, it is vital that external and in-house solicitors, general counsel, barristers, human resources directors, the board member who signs off the gender pay gap data for publication, and aggrieved employees all understand what the law requires.

• How to comply with the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017

• Practical issues and choices for businesses
